For every rouble that a customer spends on its Whopper sandwich, he/she will be given one WhopperCoin.

With 1,700 WhopperCoins, customers can buy a Burger King Whopper sandwich. If this is a promotional stunt, they are nailing it!

Here's more about it.

CryptocurrencyWhat's the deal?

The fast-food chain appears to be going gung-ho on the cryptocurrency craze.

Reportedly, it's also going to release iOS and Android apps next month. So that, users can save and share their WhopperCoins. If this doesn't get nerds gorging on Burger King's Whoppers, I am afraid nothing ever will.

This scheme is being run by Burger King in partnership with crypto-cash start-up Waves.

WhopperCoinNot a casual affair

But make no mistakes. Burger King is not taking the WhopperCoin deal in a light-hearted, casual manner.

The tech start-up will take care of the blockchain ledger and keep a track on who's using these coins and for what.

If Burger King finds out that this system is being abused, it will have the power to shut it down.
